Why do 'they' never learn. We had the same debacle in the late 70s at Cottesmore when the barrack blocks were all converted to single man rooms and then everyone had to 'double up' with bunk beds because they didn't build more blocks!! Or Honington in the early 80s when we accomodated singlies 27 miles away at Watton and then made them wait for hours for transport after night shift to take them home (as allowanaces would not pay home to duty). Or Brampton / Wyton with no accomodation for ORs at Wyton. At least personnel appear to be located close (ish) by rather than over an hour's drive away.
